Kinda feel like I shouldn't be 3betting a whale who'd taken almost 2 stacks from me, but I didn't feel like I was tilting and I wanted to isolate him. I was glad he was still on the table to my right. Larger turn cbet (fish who's pretty unaware of bet sizing)?

Call pre. He has nitty PFR stats, and 3-betting a tight opening range is spewy. Hope that a good flop comes and you stack his overpair/TPTK. I don't like the flop raise either. He could be trying to induce with AA.

Even after the min 4bet you think aces are in his range? Kind of agree with not raising the flop though. Mainly because I'm not sure if I could continue against any decent sized reraise.

Yeah, fish do stupid things like that lol. They don't want to get away from your hand, so they make it really small to entice you to come along. Seen fish do this plenty of times with AA/KK/QQ.

If you get jammed on, you're not getting
the right price to call. The SPR is only 3, so he might even just go with AK here and ship it in. You also have position, so use it.

i think your line makes sense and with the fd on the flop,its one more reason why i agree with raising on this flop,also we can continue and rep the Ace versus the fish in case he didnt have one which alot of the time he doesnt.(esp with his ridiculous 1 bb bet on flop which is weakness 99% of the time and they fold to all raises the majority of the time).

Turn bet should be bigger IMO since we dont have alot of flushes in our range so Ax's are definitely calling one more street even when FD hits.

Call preflop. You have position. No need to set yourself up for a 3-bet, because if he 3-bets big, you'll have to fold.

Postflop is fine, but you might want to bet bigger on the turn. 48BB would be better.

I would call pre, since his PFR is quite low. He is calling almost everything but rarely raising, so a call is probably best here.

As played, flop fine, bet bigger on the turn. It looks like the river brings 4 spades?(My monitor makes it hard to tell spades from clubs sometimes, but only here in the HH at CC) If 4 spades fall, a check being OTR is fine as well.
